O God, eternal truth, I believe in You.
O God, our strength and salvation, I trust in You.
O God, infinite goodness, I love You with my whole heart.

I know many of these folks are the “Saint of the Day” but I really would not have learned of them if not for here – especially the more recent or obscure saints. Thank you, Don. That is a great quote from St. Arnold, well worth remembering when times get tough.
Thanks Cathy! The Saints and the Blessed make good company!

The Pink Sisters do indeed wear a pink habit. One of their ministries is to rescue prostitutes and their children from the streets; educate and train them to succeed in a new life. Since the pimps can be threatening the sisters often are incognito when they counsel young woman on the streets.
